A demonstration by students of Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) against what they say is brutalities by school security has turned violent.
Vehicles and other properties of the school were destroyed.
It follows at least one student getting injured and 11 other students getting arrested after students clashed with internal security personnel of the school Sunday.
The rumpus ensued after the school authorities accused the students of engaging in illegal ‘morale’ activities which included drumming during a hall week celebration.
The campus of KNUST has been relatively rowdy following the conversion of some all-male halls into mixed ones.
Reacting to the developments, the Public Relations Officer of KNUST, Kwame Yeboah told claimed that the authorities of the school are in firm control of affairs at the school despite the agitations.
“The school authorities have not lost control of students. Not at all. Before Friday, everything was just fine. Just this morning, I received a message from someone telling me the school authorities will see FIRE. The one who sent the message is in the US and he sent me the text message just this morning. The drums have been given back to the students. There was an individual who brought the drums to the students and was arrested,” he told Francis Abban on Morning Starr on Starr 103.5 FM Monday.
